SICK PICS!!!

blues bro's ftw too

[Dane]

werd, i've got a handfull more. and i'm pretty sure that's all the HDR's. phew!












tallest building on the left is the GM HQ. ironic considering the photo was taken from the roof of the abandoned packard auto plant. lol.




someone built a pyramid out of the wooden floor bricks. it was big, and none were glued together or anything. they're were just placed atop each other. pretty cool. i had him hop up there so people could get an idea for its size.


meh.


man, i gotta go through and clean house with my flickr.


from the casino parking garage. the night before i chopped off my trigger finger.




we'll end it there tonight. i'll get some more up in the next day or so.

[Russell]

So insane. Really awesome shots. I love them and **** them all at once. Some of the graffitti is really sick too. Good artists with a lot of space to throw up works. Amazing, thanks for posting these.

[Dane]

a couple from the Boblo Terminal. i dont have much from there anymore. its not all that interesting on the inside anyhow.




and moar packard shots. just to be clear, we go to that place a lot because there isnt really anything exciting going on, its big, and you can chill there a bit. theres a sweet liquor store on the corner that has bullet proof glass with those little turn tables to exchange merchandise and money (lol), so we always pick up some 40's when we're over there.




for an HDR, i like the way this one turned out.














from the roof of the train station once again, lol.


a friend from cleveland. he climbed up that smoke stack (20'+), turned around and sat down just to take a picture down. eff that, remember that building is almost 100 years old.

[Dane]

some old burnt down house. its no longer there.


back at the packard plant.


we actually climbed from the other side, to where to photo was taken. lol.
























the building on the right is all locked up and stuff. if you look through the fence when nobody is there, its full of computers and stuff. i've seen old cars in there, etc. there are 2 "businesses" being ran out of the place. they steal electricity and dont pay for shit.


pallets of plastic pellets.


back to the train station.


















meh, im getting sick to death of posting these damn HDR's... anyhow, back to the packard plant.

[StayNegative]

I swear you could tell people that some of those shots were of Chernobyl and they'd believe you. Great shots!

Thats exactly what I thought when i saw these. They remind me of a Chernobyl set from a while ago. Awesome work man!

[Dane]

thanks fellas. i have many more i'll post up when i get some time.

[Neb]

thanks for sharing these pics, they certainly are amazing shots. Went to college in Windsor for 3 years but never really made it over to the D aside from the occasional rave lol

[illFA]

very nice pictures. composition is so nice. +1 to you

[GT7TC]

WOW thx for the pics.I am from the area,live in so. cal now.I haven't been back for a while.Just as beautiful as I remember. lol

[Dane]

cool.

fisher body.










Good 'ole Belle Isle. you generally see cars parked there and people drinking and doing various illegal things when the sun starts to go down. and i never made it there tonight.










St. Agnes church. as you can see, someone beat us there and made off with all the pews.


Ambassador bridge.




Belle Isle bridge. its the only way onto the island, and off as well.


boat club, also belle isle.




old ass cemetery in D town.






there's a neighborhood on the east side with a canal going through it. it goes out to the river. as you can see, the water level was a bit low last year. lol.




these bitches are all over the place. stolen and stripped.

[87e30]

Looks like a fun time.

[jpod999]

Amazing, can't wait to see more!

[Withers]

I swear you could tell people that some of those shots were of Chernobyl and they'd believe you. Great shots!

[Dane]

yup, sure is.

i'll toss up some more before i head out. first real snow, i may meet up with some guys to go "snow drifting" on belle isle. it even has chicanes for when they do the detroit grand prix.
basically, it's an island in the middle of the Detroit river that is all one way traffic, never any cops, and theres a fucking race track there.


anyhow.

some old church. no names anywhere and the shots are pretty shoddy. but i was there a few weeks ago and its damn near cleaned out.






in the basement at the church. i think it was also a school as well. creeeeepy shit.






roof of the Lafayette building. they're currently tearing the bish down. i didnt really take any shots inside. it was dark and really boring.


roof of the train station. scary as shit. EVERYTHING was covered in ice. i almost fell off the ladder up where i took this. it was like someone dipped it in water and let it freeze.

bridge in the background = Ambassador bridge. connects windsor ontario and Detroit.

the first of many HDR's. Belle Isle Zoo. closed down in 2004 and really overgrown now. i was there a couple months ago, and it looks way different than this does. this is a couple years old now.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_Isle_Park



no animals. i did make a few bucks off this one though.


starting with the zoo, the next 50 or so are all HDR's. so, sorry in advance. :lol:

some old steel mill or something that is closed down.


roof of the train station again.


train station from the outside. the 3 big windows in the front. i believe it was the one on the right side that Megatron smashed through in the first Transformers movie. :lol:


ambassador bridge.
on the left side of the river (detroit), the building closest to the water = GM world HQ. the renaissance center ("Ren Cen")


moar later.
